Be seduced in the kitchen: Jo Pratt's perfect recipes for a Valentine's night in

Forget the frantic hunt for the perfect Valentine's Day restaurant. Jo Pratt's got the perfect recipes for a romantic night in - and you can cook together!

The dedicated romantics among you will no doubt have Valentine's Day sorted by now. The rest of us will be thinking, 'Help! I haven't arranged anything - I'll never be able to book a table now.'

If that's the case, panic not - this week, I've planned a fabulously easy four-course meal for two that you can cook together. After all, there's nothing very seductive about slaving alone over a hot stove. Naturally, in the interest of research, my husband, Phil, and I had an early Valentine's night to try it out.

I did the starter, dessert and a little something to have with coffee, while Phil tackled the main course. And I'm happy to report that it all went swimmingly, and we didn't fall out once. The food was pretty good, too.
